As part of our International Youth Day activities the apprentices from Encirc helped pick the first batch of apples from our orchard at the Growing Garden ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ

On top of all the work they accomplished for our sensory garden for our supported individuals the group picked over 100 apples in our first harvest of the season AND took them away to share with staff at their site not far from us

This is what we're all about at the Growing Garden, community building, supporting each other and sharing knowledge, time and in the end...produce! ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿงบ

๐Ÿ“ธPhotos are coming in thick and fast of the brilliant day we had with Encirc volunteers!

We celebrated International Youth Day by hosting apprentices from their programme over at . They mostly worked in our sensory garden within the Growing Garden. They brought amazing energy and willingness to get stuck in, and we're so happy to see our partnership garden develop ๐ŸŒฑ

They worked hard to complete the pathway to ensure accessibility and woodchipped the ground to help supress the weeds! Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you all again!

๐Ÿ˜ŠYou may remember a post we made a few weeks ago featuring a new partnership we're excited about with ...they have so kindly funded several apprenticeships for iMap. This week we hosted International Youth Day and an amazing team of Encirc apprentices gathered at our new school and college Fern House and our Growing Garden.

๐ŸŽจThese shots are from Team A who started their day painting panelling in preparation for our Fern House September opening. Keep your eyes peeled for what they got up to in the afternoon, joining forces with Team B!

Massive thanks to all the individuals who attended, we absolutely loved hosting you!

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to who provided us with photographs for the day- all photo credits from the International Youth Day with Encirc are taken by him.

๐Ÿ‘A huge well done to all our school staff and students for another brilliant year!

Not only have they excelled in their own school but the team have been working hard behind the scenes ready for us to open our brand new school and college. A monumental amount of work has been completed and we want the whole team to know how much they're appreciated in all they have done and continue to do. We had a team BBQ to celebrate this week with all our staff and students dropping by ๐Ÿ™‚

๐ŸŒžWe wish them restful summers before an amazing September we have lined up!

We've had a flurry of work experience students come and spend their week with us recently! It's been a pleasure having them and hopefully we're inspiring the next generation of people to work outside, and within organisations like ours, focusing on autism.

๐Ÿ‘‹๐ŸผThis is Joe, he had a "really good and varied week". Joe spent time in a variety of our services learning how we work, and getting involved behind the scenes. He learned Canva and photography skills with our marketing lead, showed visitors around the Growing Garden, learned how to propagate succulents with our project co-ordinator and created inventories and recruitment drive equipment in our offices with training and recruitment staff to name just a few activities!

The funniest moment (which he is happy for us to share!) was accidently leaving the chicken coop door open...one got curious but don't worry, she's home safe!

Joe also took some beautiful pictures of the flowers up at the Growing Garden for us which were shared in a previous post ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒผ

๐Ÿ€๐ŸŒžWe had the pleasure of Ayron joining us for his work experience in June! Ayron spent most of his week with us learning about the Growing Garden and the vast amount of work that goes into maintaining a two acre plot. From protecting apple trees (all 122 of them!) to chicken care to weeding Ayron got stuck in and made a real difference with the time he spent with us.

Ayron also spent some time at our head offices, making calls to prospective employees who had shown interest in roles, and helping our IT team set up new software for our school administrators ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿค–

๐Ÿ™‚A huge thank you, for all your hard work and for always having a positive attitude!

โ™ป๏ธThis month we've marked World Environmental Day by starting the design process for an upcycled piece of artwork to be installed at our Growing Garden. We've been inspired by our new partnership with the wonderful and are looking into more sustainable practices, starting with a sculpture made from waste materials from our houses and school.

๐ŸŽ‰Massive congrats to Live Cheshire who raised so much more (500 times more!) than their aim of ยฃ250 in their cycle challenge

๐ŸšฒOur students took part in the 100 miles in March to raise funds for Live! Chester, and we're so proud to have been part of helping out this brilliant charity๐Ÿšฒ

They run a variety of activities with SEN in mind, this is how they describe themselves:

"We are a small vibrant charity that provides a varied programme of fully inclusive and accessible clubs and social activities for children, young people and adults. Based at New Scene Centre in Chester, people come from throughout Cheshire, Wirral and North Wales to take part, to make friends and have fun.
Whilst doing so they develop their self-esteem and confidence, improve their physical well-being and develop social, vocational and independent living skills. As a charity our role is to ensure the safety and enjoyment of those taking part, challenge disadvantage and promote choice and inclusion."

๐Ÿ™A huge thanks to who hosted us today on a visit to explore the glass/bottle making industry and see their wildlife area

Three of our staff went to visit Encirc, Cheshire who we have partnered with. Their levy funding means we can provide some funded apprenticeships in Education and Health and Social Care! This is hugely appreciated and means we can continue to do the work we do to the highest standard ๐ŸŽ‰

Check back next week for more pictures of the inside of this fascinating factory, and what our staff thought about the experience ๐Ÿค”
